Answer

According to Jainism, the universe was not created by any one God. It is beginningless and endless, so there is no single creator of the universe.

In Jain Dharma, the highest spiritual beings are:

• Arihants — liberated from inner defects and enlightened while still living
• Siddhas — fully liberated souls who have reached moksha

So, in Jainism, there is no ultimate creator God who made the universe. The universe exists by its own natural laws.

Explanation

Jain philosophy says:

• The universe is eternal
• It goes through cycles of time
• No one created it
• No one can destroy it completely
• It operates according to the laws of karma, dravya (substances), and nature

This is very different from the idea of a creator God in some other religions.

Jainism teaches that every soul has the potential to become pure and free, but no soul creates the universe.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the focus is not on worshipping a creator, but on:

• purifying the soul
• destroying karma
• following right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct
• attaining moksha

The highest ideal is not “creator of the world,” but “one who becomes completely free from bondage.”

Takeaway

In Jainism, the universe is self-existing and uncreated. The highest beings are the liberated souls, especially Siddhas, but they are not creators of the universe.
